Just buildup
Well all the hopes I had for the continuation of Stick Slayer seem to have been crushed quite a bit by these past two episodes.
As it turns out, I originally reviewed Episode 5 way back when in 2001 when this episode first came out. Back then, I hadn't seen any of the other episodes of Stick Slayer, but I seemed to think that Episode 5 was some kind of hot shit that was groundbreaking.
Looking back at it before watching this episode, I saw nothing special, nothing that elevated beyond any of the episodes that came before it, and this episode here. It seems like the plot of the original four episodes is just being repeated, except this time in the real world!
I don't quite know what Stick Slayer was trying to do riding the nuke around, since even if he did diffuse that one there was still another 600 odd flying around. But lo and behold, he was pretty useless and wasnt able to even stop that one nuke. So now it seems like the world is pretty much screwed like the Internet was after Stick Slayer nuked it. Theres stickmen everywhere and things seem pretty screwed.
Can this all be resolved in one more episode? Going by previous episodes, the answer is probably not unfortunately...
